I'm going to move this to
Drug Culture. We had some similar threads but I'll keep yours open as it is well written. I've been struggling with heroin and friends for almost seven years, would I say it's been worth it? Who knows. Probably not, but then I wouldn't be the man I am today (though I guess depending on your take on me, It can't be said whether that's a good or a bad thing.)
I highly advice you to
NOT use heroin, and
NOT to be swept into its grasped by the romantic portrayals that you read in books or see in movies/TV. Shit gets very real, and for many, VERY out of hand.
If your going to insist on going through with it, read our
Beginners Guide to Heroin.
